It
was a great day for golf at Half Moon Bay today.and the condition of
the course matched the day. It brought out a great field of 103
players, including 21 ladies. Also included were four new members,
Leon Nelson (Cairns), Ken Berrigan (Wauchope), Charlie Brkic (Mount
Coolum), Debra Smith (Innisfail). A sincere welcome is extended to
each and everyone of them. This brings our total membership to 248.

The
competition was a 44BBB Aggregate with the field divided into three
groups, The first group of teams comprising of 2 men., the second
group consisting of a man and a lady with the final teams consisting
solely of ladies.

The
game today was sponsored byHALF
MOON BAY GOLF CLUBand
we wish to thank the Club Manager Greg Ferry, who is on leave at the
present time, for the continued sponsorship of the F.N.Q. Vets.
Normally this has been in the form of slab of beer for our free
raffle.

Today’s
sponsorship was extended to vouchers for our Winners, etc. This
enabled basically a doubling the number of the vouchers to 2 Winners
and 2 Runners up for the first two groups with only the Winner
receiving a voucher in the small “all Ladies Group”. A normal
Ball Rundown and N.T.P.s was also conducted.

Our
thanks go to the staff that tended to us today, Dale and Ollie in the
Golf Shop and Bar, with Jazz serving the food from the kitchen. Our
special thanks go to Allison, the Office Administrator, for last
minute re-arrangement of the vouchers.

It
was really encouraging to see the numbers of members staying having a
chat and patronising the club facilities. This was actually
commented upon by Allison who was ecstatic with the business
generated by our members..

Our
next day is at Mareeba with
our normal Registration between 7am and 8am.
